Douluo Continent: Becoming the God of Nature Starting from Farming

"What can I do? I'm the same way. I'm not even as good as my own summoned beasts," Xiao Ze said helplessly.

As expected, my innate level 2 talent is indeed limited.

But as long as I can cheat, that's enough.

Besides, I am a summoning-type Soul Master. It is enough for the summoned spirits to be powerful. My own combat power is not very important. Being able to stay alive is the most important thing.

Xiao Ze's life soon returned to a period of studying and cultivating.

Learning involves more than just alchemy; it also requires distraction control, which demands more of Xiao Ze's time.

Time flies by in the blink of an eye.

Looking at the date three days later, Xiao Ze went directly to Old Wang's shabby blacksmith shop.

"Old Wang." Xiao Ze pushed the door open and entered.

"You brat, can't you knock on the door first?" Old Wang said irritably as he rested on a wooden chair.

"Now that you've regained your strength, you're not even taking good care of this blacksmith shop."

"What's the point of managing this? I'm not short of money anyway. All I need to do now is restore my strength and live a few more years, that would be great."

"Old Wang, could you forge me a soul tool?"

"What do you want? I can't make the kind that's good for both offense and defense."

"No, it's just that a friend of mine has a birthday in a few days and needs a headdress."

Although Xiao Ze felt it was a pity, he figured that soul tools could be made again in the future, so it was fine.

"Oh? The crown, it must be a girl's," Old Wang teased.

“That’s right, she’s my future wife.” Xiao Ze nodded.

"Tsk tsk... This brat is going astray, and he even has a first wife." Old Wang wasn't interested in Xiao Ze's life either.

"How do you plan to build it?"

"I don't quite understand, but Rongrong's martial soul is the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda."

"Hiss... You're really lucky to have a wife from one of the top three sects, someone from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School." Old Wang said with some envy.

"It's alright."

Chapter 130 Ning Rongrong's Birthday

"Then I'll design one for you. It just so happens that I haven't designed a soul tool in a long time." Old Wang slowly stood up.

"Okay, thank you very much, Elder Wang. When can we get it? Rongrong's birthday is in a few days," Xiao Ze asked.

"It will only take a day; this kind of soul tool is very simple."

"Alright, then consider this my payment." Xiao Ze took out a handful of spiritual herbs and medicines. These herbs and medicines were quite old and would be very helpful for Elder Wang to recover his soul power.

"So much? We don't need it." Old Wang waved his hand.

"Consider it a resource I'm giving to Elder Wang," Xiao Ze said with a smile.

"You little rascal, you're not trying to subdue me, are you?" Old Wang chuckled.

"Maybe."

"Let's forget about it. We can just come to you if we need any soul tools made in the future." Old Wang is already old and doesn't want to join any faction.

"That's right, I have plenty of things like that anyway."

"Alright, I won't stand on ceremony with you then." Old Wang didn't refuse again, since his relationship with Xiao Ze was really good now.

Xiao Ze essentially saved his own future.

As long as there are no major problems in the future, Old Wang will help Xiao Ze complete them, even if it means killing someone.

Being grateful is one of his few virtues.

After leaving the blacksmith shop, Xiao Ze did not go straight home.

Instead, he went to the entire pastry shop that he had booked.

Rongrong's birthday is coming up, how can we not have a birthday cake?

Since there are no birthday cakes in this world, Xiao Ze had to make one himself.

Fortunately, he had done it.

They soon arrived at the pastry shop, which was completely empty of customers today.

Xiao Ze took out all the materials he had prepared over the past few days.

Since there are no cakes in this world, many things are also lacking, and Xiao Ze needs to prepare them himself.

This also consumed a lot of Xiao Ze's time.

As for the cake's appearance, Xiao Ze had already designed it: a cake shaped like a nine-jeweled glazed pagoda.

Xiao Ze divided the cake batter into nine equal portions and baked them using round molds of different sizes.

This is baking a cake base; as a Nine-Treasure Glazed Pagoda, it naturally has nine layers.

After the cake base was baked, Xiao Ze laid them out flat.

It smells wonderful; the ingredients used in these cake bases are certainly not ordinary, and they also have Ning Rongrong's favorite aroma.

Xiao Ze then spread a thin layer of raspberry jam and cream on each layer, and inserted a chocolate bar in the center of each layer for support to prevent the tower from tilting.

Making a cake like this is quite difficult; Xiao Ze would have had a hard time completing it if he hadn't been fully focused.

Xiao Ze then made three colors of cream.

Deep purple, ice blue, and light gold are some of the colors of the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda. Although they are not very realistic, this is all we can do.

The original colors for the Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda were too difficult to determine.

Start from the bottom layer and cover layer by layer, pressing the edges with a smoother and cutting off the excess.

Furthermore, Xiao Ze used a fine needle to carve the patterns of the glazed pagoda.

Next is the mirror effect on the Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda. Xiao Ze used pectin mixed with a small amount of pigment and brushed it onto the fondant surface to create the texture of glazed glass.

Sugar beads and crystal sugar are also used as gemstones on the surface.

The overall design of the Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda is now complete.

Finally, add some atmosphere-enhancing elements to the base, such as miniature martial spirits.

"Phew... finally finished." Xiao Ze wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Making a cake like this is really hard work.

This was actually Xiao Ze's first time making such a complex cake, and it was really difficult.

After carefully placing the cake in the soul tool, Xiao Ze returned directly to the villa.

"Xiao Ze, why did you stay out so long so early in the morning?" Ning Rongrong asked, lying on the sofa.

"It's nothing, I just went out for a stroll." Xiao Ze planned to give Ning Rongrong a surprise.

Although Xiao Ze is not a person with high emotional intelligence, he is still capable of surprising people.

"Oh." Ning Rongrong had also somewhat forgotten her own birthday.

After all, her father and two grandfathers used to celebrate her birthdays, but after being with Xiao Ze, she was so happy every day that she forgot about her own birthday.

Seeing that Ning Rongrong didn't suspect anything, Xiao Ze breathed a sigh of relief.

He looked at the four people not far away.

Meng Yiran and the other three nodded.

They knew Xiao Ze was celebrating Rongrong's birthday, and they were envious. However, they knew that they would receive the same surprise on their birthdays.

The next day.

Xiao Ze took the crown from Old Wang's hands.

This crown is made entirely of mithril and is intricately carved.

It appears as a semi-transparent crystal, and after being infused with soul power, it can naturally emit light.

Nine gemstones are also inlaid on the crown.

The largest gemstone in the center is like a glass heart.

It refracts a seven-colored halo at different angles.

The crown features a miniature hollowed-out soul ring design supported by extremely fine metal wires on both sides.

Although they look very flimsy, these metal wires are actually quite strong, and they are virtually impossible to break unless deliberately damaged.

The entire piece is surrounded by silver tassels, with tiny crystals adorning the ends.

Small nine-jeweled glazed pagodas hung down on either side of her forehead, like earrings.

"How is it?" Old Wang asked.

"Very good, very beautiful. I never expected that you, Mr. Wang, would have such strong design skills when making these headdresses." Xiao Ze never expected this.

Old Wang doesn't seem like someone who could design such a delicate soul tool.

"Hmph! Back then, the number of people who wanted me to make soul tools could have circled around Tiandou City. Moreover, my design skills are also medical, far superior to those guys in Gengxin City," Old Wang said confidently.

"That's true, thank you very much, Mr. Wang."

"Go on, you brat," Old Wang said with a laugh.

The cake and gifts are all ready now, and we just have to wait two days.

……

Two days later.

Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling went directly to Ning Rongrong's room and took out Ning Rongrong's princess dress.

Ning Rongrong lay on the bed, watching the two people walk around in her room, completely bewildered.

What are you trying to do?
